FACEMs at Night: A Mattress Stuffed with Flaw
This is the second of two perspectives on whether FACEMs should work night night shifts, for the first, see Anand Swaminathan’s ‘FACEMs at Night: An American Perspective‘. Let us take ourselves one fact. One, simple, undeniable fact. One cannot, after all, dispute a fact. A fact, according to most reputable definers of words (and a few, which are my more preferred sources, disreputable ones) is a truth. A thing that is universally known to be true. Merriam-Webster (American, I know, but in light of it’s lexicographically poetic etymology, we must forgive its murderous spelling) defines it as ‘a true ...

Why Don’t We Wash Our Hands?
Courtesy of the SMACC Podcast, my hand hygiene talk from SMACC Chicago has just been released… Enjoy! Hand hygiene is widely regarded as the bedrock for the prevention of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). HAIs are among the biggest killers in modern medicine. Yet, hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers remains woefully poor. Why can’t we learn the lessons that Semmelweis taught us nearly 150 years ago? If we can’t teach intelligent healthcare workers to wash their hands properly, what hope do we have as medical educators? This is both a patient safety and a medical education priority. Our patien...

Imagining the future
The ACEM conference in Hobart 2012 was an excellent event which juxtaposed art and science with inspiration and education in the setting of stimulation and entertainment.

One session I was fortunate to be involved with was on ‘Imagining the future of e-learning and education’ with Prof Kendall Ho and Mr Stephen Atherton.
